A thread about Christian Nationalism —yes, capitalized and very real. Hope it offers some starting points.
Curious about the roots of Christian nationalism in American politics? Here's a starting map of key figures and organizations feeding into American Christian Nationalism spanning decades. After enough division, all that was missing in 2016 was a fraud willing to light the match and take power. 🧵1/14

I’m prepping a thread 🧵 on Christian nationalism in America. As a former believer, I saw firsthand Christian reactions to Bill Clinton. Make no mistake, churches ignore their 501(c)(3) non-profit rule barring them from endorsing or opposing political candidates, especially now under Trump’s IRS.

For anyone curious about the roots of Christian nationalism in modern American politics, I'd suggest starting with David Barton and the evangelical mobilization around George W. Bush's 2000 campaign, then following the thread forward to figures like Sean Feucht today.
SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

“Evil”
It’s an interesting word that has been used, misused, abused for a very long time. What is it? Who gets to decide what it is? And can that change? Or does it keep a certain “moral DNA”?
I’m going to draft a Substack essay on this mainly as an open notes exercise.

The world watches the continuing pogrom. The irony is not lost on us. A Russian word once coined to describe what happened to Jewish communities starting in the late 1800s is now the word we can use for what Jewish settlers are doing to Palestinians. —and they do it without shame.
Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks.
Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases.
So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool.
They can’t erase history.
